Colts owner Jim Irsay hinted on Monday that the team could draft Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck in 2012 if the opportunity presented itself. "Guys like that come along so rarely," Irsay said, referring to Peyton Manning and Luck. "Even if that means that guy sits for three or four years, you'd certainly think about taking him ... you see what Green Bay did with (Brett) Favre and (Aaron) Rodgers and you'd like to be able to do the same thing." Manning is out indefinitely after having surgery to fuse two vertebrae in his neck. Without him, the Colts are 0-5. "Each season connects to the next season," Irsay said. "Just like when we were 3-13 in 1998 (Manning's rookie year) and were 13-3 in 1999. Each year connects, and there's a thread that runs through your team. You want to get better, and if you're getting better in December, that can carry through to next year."
